sorry to butt in, thought this would be relevant ... my entry for a 16oz beer container contest (vegged 25 days)
4 Inches is all them girls need?

There's an inch of clay pebbles at the bottom and the rest I filled with coco. I water the tray it sits on so it works like an autopot.

Sweet little can o grass
Its kinda relevant
Now what would the results have been if
You had another in a 4 inch air pot?
Imo the best way to test what im doing(ill try it when i get room lmao)
Would be to plant a clone in a 4inch pot
And one in a rootmaker pot
Then after about id say 3 weeks or so
Tranfer into a 5 gallon pot and switch to 12. 12
Then at the end you would of course compare the plants them selves to see which yeilded more (cause if not its not worth it)
Ill grab an update on the clone roots later they are putting on a lot of weight for being cut at 4 inches lol
And i think im going to use this method to keep my veg roots from entagling with each other
As well as helps to keep node length to a minimum
Thanks for stopping in

Also
After my small amount of experiments
I find that the root pruning does increase lateral root growth
But i think i need to time it a little different.
Because after a while i think it just keeps the plant compact like a bonsai tree lol
But im glad for that too as ut keeps moms and clones small (i have a small veg room )

going to try this in a solo cup challenge. it might be cheating as everyone is using soil. not against the rules tho. that's probably a bigger plant than soil from the same size.

I know i am
going to prune the rootBut no external res or watering systems allowed

Cool man feel free to post your stuff here
I wanted rockwool because i wanted to go to a custom flood and drain/nft setup.
But the root pruning seems to be doing the sam thing on clones as well mabey not exact but
I think the most beneficial woyld be from a seed.
But
Every time i trim the roots.
More lateral growth happens so its doing something lol
And it is keeping the clone very short and tight

I did not do a control.
Just whatching with my eyes
To me yes,
It doeant seem to slow growth in the seedling for about 2 weeks after that at least for me they seemd to slow a little...
..but that could be to my never using rockwool before lol
I am conviced though that it will make a bigfer more fibrous root system.
The seedlings i started dont look that great thats why i havent posted any pics lol
But i need them to slow down anyway so i can empty my room.
I think the next round of trying this will be better as i will have more room to work.
Also next time im going to chop 4 in h cubes
In to 4 peices that way the roots will fill the block in a shorter amount of time.

The neat thing is
With the clones is the plants are staying CRAZY short with really tight internodes spacing.
And im using a shit led in my veg and its hung up way high... i figured the clones would stretch with the light being so far up but
They have stayed really tight.
This is definitely something im going to explore for a few grows.
I will set up a control eventually when i clear up some room
Thanks for the interest

Plus its not really fair for results on this go because im switching nutes half way though a grow wich is something i dont normally like to do.
But im done with hydro store nutes sobi need to learn the new fertilizers.
Its wierd though because the roots on the clones
Where growingan inch or 2 everyday...
But have slowed since i switched the.nutes?
It makez me want to buy some more RAW grow and bloom to finish the tests
The roots really seem to like the RAW nutes
The synthetic nutes are so clean looking though
It barely colors the water which is what i want.
But i think the plants resond to the biostimulants
In the raw nutes more?

Are you that guy on YouTube
Grow weed cheap or something?
He has a video with the same title
Can’t say I watched it or read the thread tho.

And give them credit for it lol
At least thats how i do things

RAW Nutes are awesome.... I started using them this summer and I believe due to the nutes I had a super duper crop that should have been just a decent little grow. I started some new trees from seed using the nutes from the get and they are better looking than anything I've ever grown and thats a lot.... This whole grow for me will be with the Raw line Grow and Bloom also a couple of their amendments as suggested by the feeding schedule. I'll mess with adding more and less later after a couple good grows.
I TOTALLY suggested RAW Nutes!

I agree i can recommend them although to be truthful
I didnt finish a run, just vegged with them
So couldnt say anything on the bloom side of things.
I switched to a full sythectic nutrient. Sense im running a high aeration setup i didnt want to brew a bad tea lol
But i will include RAW single ingredients in my testing
I have already started using raw kelp and humic with the synthetic nutes to see how they play with each other.
The roots love the kelp and humic in there so far though

I finished out a grow this summer with just the amendments, almost the full line of it. I saw a big difference from when I was just using GH liquid nutes.
Im in my first straight RAW run now, I'll let you know how it goes for flower..
Your right about the price its expensive but it makes a lot. I did 5 weeks of Veg from seed and I barely got into the 8 oz bag of grow powder I have.
